Before you start

One deepthroat key connects Kilo Code to the full text model catalog. Add credits or start an hourly plan on that key.

Setup

  1. 1
    Open Kilo Settings → Providers and add a custom provider named deepthroat with API format OpenAI Compatible.
  2. 2
    Enter the base URL and your API key below, then click Fetch models to load the full list.
  3. 3
    Add the fetched models and save the provider. Switch models from Kilo’s model picker. CLI users can download kilo.jsonc below instead.

Configuration

For custom reasoning variants, merge the downloaded provider and model settings into your kilo.jsonc, then set the key in the terminal that launches Kilo:

export deepthroatkey="YOUR_API_KEY"
kilo
Reasoning controls
The complete downloaded configuration includes named reasoning variants for every adjustable model. Use the harness’s variant selector to change effort. Model discovery alone does not include these custom variants; install or merge the downloaded configuration.
Switch models inside your app
Use the model picker after saving the fetched models. Fetch models again when new models are added.

Effort labels show levels available through this harness. These are the current published text models. Your key’s access rules and model availability still apply. Image-generation models use a separate API.

Verify & troubleshoot

Send a short prompt and check Activity. If models are missing, verify the list with the same API key:

bash
curl "https://api.cheapai.gay/v1/models" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
  • 401: replace the placeholder with your actual key and check that it is enabled.
  • 402: top up that key or start an hourly plan in the wallet.
  • 404: refresh the model list and check the endpoint. Use https://api.cheapai.gay/v1 as the base URL.
  • Tool errors: select a tool-capable text model and read the tool calling guide.
